aunnyq@gmail.com 13 Posted October 17, 2013 I put Vitamin e cream on my incisions to help lessen their appearance and help control the itching. I wouldn't do that until the steri strips come off (7-10 days) but after that it helps a ton! I'm 2 weeks post op as of yesterday. Mine are healing really nicely and with the added moisture I don't itch like crazy. Hth.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vertical 0 Posted October 17, 2013 I had my surgery 8 days ago and I had a problem with itching too. I've also been really dizzy the last three days. I'm trying to get all my Protein, hydration, and rest. But I felt so great otherwise I've been really active and went back to work on Friday after surgery on Tuesday. I went into see the doctor about the dizziness and he said it's just a result of rapid weight-loss. Which I suppose is a fair trade! He moved me up to soft solids too and I'm so excited about it!

jraerid 0 Posted October 19, 2013 I was sleeved Tuesday but I'm already having hunger pains did anyone else have the same thing? I was sleeved Tuesday as well. I've been having more of a "head hunger" than physical hunger. sugar free Popsicles have been great, but I'm having a really hard time getting my liquids in.

FieryRed 55 Posted October 19, 2013 I was sleeved Wednesday and had hunger pains within hours of surgery. For the first two days, it was almost constant. Even after I ate/drank, when I should have been full. So it made it hard to realize when I was actually full. But the hunger pains are lessening and now replaced by digestive pains. lol Have found my favorite meal is a flavored Greek yogurt with a scoop of unjury, a splash of milk and an ice cube in the blender. Alternately, a vanilla greek yogurt with Unjury, a squirt of Mio and ice is good too. 1 gomekast reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
